Foster-Creighton Company Pioneering Commercial use of CPM at Oak Ridge Tennessee

My father was directly associated with Bob Creighton who was a VP of the Company. He also worked for and with George Roden, a long time leader in the company with extensive experience in AEDC projects dating as early as 1943 in Oak Ridge. Several Key leaders in Foster-Creighton Company were graduates of the US Naval Academy with wartime service in World War I and World War II. Through these associations those members of the Creighton Family became key leaders in the Company during the Post WW II era. During WW II and the Early years of the Manhattan Project, this group of leaders had become familiar with the scientific and advanced management techniques ultimately embodied in Critical Path Method and Program Evaluation and Review Techniques. In the late 1950's and early 1960's Bob Creighton led an effort including George Roden and my father, William H. Price Jr. to adapt commercially, the use of these advanced project management methodologies to Foster-Creighton Company Projects with the AEC in Oak Ridge Tennessee. I have actual artifacts of the project management tools and charts used in this implementation, possibly the first page scale commercial use of the PERT/CPM Methodology.
